The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

"What did I say?" Meng Wenlan still didn't know how to get involved with her.

"If you don't repent, go to the ancestral hall and reflect!"

In the past, Meng Shangshu only thought that Meng Wenlan was a little arrogant. He had never thought that this daughter was so overbearing. Meng Wenyao was almost disfigured. She was still so messy, which really disappointed Meng Shangshu.

"Someone, take the eldest lady to the ancestral hall."

"Master, no!"

There was a lot of commotion in the house, and an old woman suddenly rolled in from outside.

"Master, madam, someone from the palace has come to deliver the order."

Before Meng Shangshu could react, Mrs. Hu was overjoyed and couldn't help but hold Meng Wenlan's hand. Now Meng Wenlan was saved. The emperor must have issued the imperial edict of marriage.

The group of people hurriedly came to the front yard, where they were setting up tables and holding incense burners. Just as they were about to receive the order, the father-in-law from the palace stopped the Meng family's actions, pulled Meng Shangshu aside and said: "Your Excellency, the emperor and the noble concubine value this. I asked the second lady of your house to be the sixth prince's concubine, but I heard that the second lady of your house is unwell, so the emperor wants to take her into the palace first, and if she is well treated, then he will issue a decree to marry her before it is too late."

After hearing this, Meng Shangshu felt like thunder was rolling from the sky. What kind of operation was this? Is it possible that his daughter would enter the palace without any reason and become a concubine for a prince who had just come out of confinement?

There is no marriage decree, no wedding, just entering the palace like this, who can guarantee what the result will be in the future.

Meng Shangshu felt dizzy for a while. Seeing this, Mrs. Hu quickly supported him and asked the father-in-law opposite him flatteringly: "Father-in-law, do you think you can accept the order now?"

The father-in-law raised his eyes to look at Meng Shangshu. He saw that Meng Shangshu's face was pale and his figure was shaky. He said, "I obey the order."

Hu's expression changed and she asked: "Master, you are confused. You haven't accepted the order yet. Why did you accept the order to thank me?"

No one responded, but the father-in-law in the palace said in a good voice: "Madam, the emperor's decree is oral."

"Oral message?"

Mrs. Hu wanted to say something more, but her father-in-law spoke again: "Mr. Meng, our family will go back and resume their duties right now. We will choose an auspicious time tomorrow to come to the house to pick you up."

In the blink of an eye, everyone in the palace disappeared without a trace. Hu still said confusedly: "Master, what is the emperor's decree?"

Pulling Mrs. Hu suddenly into a room, Meng Shangshu gritted his teeth and said: "This is what you said, the concubine gave Yaoer a good marriage. Do you know that the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty did not dare to marry their daughters to the sixth prince? You Your brain was kicked by a donkey, and you actually conspired with the imperial concubine to do this?"

Seeing that Mrs. Hu felt guilty and didn't speak, Meng Shangshu reached out and grabbed Mrs. Hu's hand, squeezing it loudly: "What else did you discuss? What benefits did the imperial concubine promise you?"

"You said that the imperial concubine also told Lan'er about the marriage. Did you discuss marrying Lan'er to the fourth prince in exchange for Yao'er marrying the sixth prince?"

"dont you agree?"

Meng Shangshu's hand had switched from Hu's hand to Hu's neck. He knew from Hu's dodgey eyes that he was most likely to stay in the market.

"madness!"

When Mr. Hu was about to die, Meng Shangshu let go of his hand and said sternly: "Tell me if you have anything else to do, or I will divorce you immediately."

Hu Shilai, holding her neck and breathing heavily, said in a hoarse voice: "No more, really no more, just let Lan'er and Yaoer marry the fourth prince and the sixth prince respectively."

"You are really good at calculating, so you are not afraid of the imperial concubine going back on her word."

Meng Shangshu had calmed down, and now it was Hu's turn to start to panic. Someone came to the palace, but they left after saying something orally, and there was no sign of the marriage decree.

She shook her head and comforted herself: "No, no one is willing to marry their daughter to the sixth prince. If the concubine can marry our family, it is already a one-in-a-million marriage. Besides, if the concubine does not let the fourth prince marry Lan Son, that master is the sixth prince’s father-in-law. If you firmly support the sixth prince, won’t your concubine find a strong rival for the fourth prince?”

"Just to win over you, sir, the imperial concubine will ask the fourth prince to marry Lan'er back."

After hearing this, Meng Shangshu sneered: "Are you so sure that if my two daughters marry two princes, I will definitely support the fourth prince?"

"Otherwise?" Mrs. Hu didn't understand that Meng Shangshu asked this question. Isn't the answer obvious?

"The fourth prince is the son of the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine has been favored by the imperial concubine for many years. The fourth prince is also favored by the emperor. Unlike the sixth prince, who has just been released from confinement and is not favored by the emperor. He cannot protect himself and has no ability to seize the legitimate son."

"Sir, if you support the fourth prince, you will definitely be a loyal minister in the future. If you support the sixth prince, you may one day be like those who followed the former prince, and your family will be destroyed."

"Master, you can't understand this, right? It's impossible for the Sixth Prince to be crowned the Great Treasure. Supporting him is a dead end."

Hu's persuasion was not only to persuade Meng Shangshu, but also to persuade himself.

In the entire court, even a blind man knew that the fourth prince was the next heir, and the sixth prince had been imprisoned for ten years. Now that he is released, it is just the mercy of the emperor, and he may be exiled to the fiefdom one day.

Who would be crazy to support him in seizing the throne?

"Ms. Hu, you are very smart. You used Yao'er's marriage to exchange for Lan'er's future. I only hope you will not regret it in the future."

Meng Shangshu took a deep look at Mrs. Hu, opened the door and walked out.

For some reason, Hu's heart kept beating wildly when she saw Meng Shangshu's last look.

Before she had time to think, Meng Wenlan ran in with red eyes.

"Mother, what did dad say when he pulled you into the room? Why was there no edict read out just now?"

Mrs. Hu then realized that she had not asked carefully about the content of the oral decree, but from what Meng Shangshu asked, Mrs. Hu had a general idea.

"The emperor has issued an oral order, saying that Meng Wenyao will be brought into the palace tomorrow and the marriage decree will be issued later."

"Why is this happening? Shouldn't the marriage be granted first and then the marriage?" Meng Wenlan asked.

Hu sighed and said: "Meng Wenyao suddenly fell seriously ill. The emperor was probably worried that she would die and the sixth prince would be known as a wife-suppressant, so he asked people to go to the palace and wait until he was well before granting the marriage. "

This should be it. Mrs. Hu had previously planned to get Meng Wenyao married first, so she quickly learned about this marriage.

It seems that it is no longer possible. She must keep Meng Wenyao safe and sound. If Meng Wenyao dies before the marriage is granted, Meng Wenlan may not have the chance to marry the fourth prince.

After returning to the room and changing into an old coat, Mrs. Hu came to Meng Wenyao's room again. Seeing the silence in the room, she asked, "Where are the master and Aunt Liu?"

Grandma, who was taking a nap, immediately replied when she heard it: "After my aunt fed the second lady some medicine, she was pulled out by the master. I don't know where she went."

Mrs. Hu had no intention of paying attention to Liu Sangyu now. She came to Meng Wenyao's bedside and called Meng Wenyao up in a low voice.

"Yao'er, you are not feeling well now. The Emperor does not want the Sixth Prince to have the reputation of being a wife-suppressant, so he will take you into the palace tomorrow. You have to take good care of yourself and take good care of yourself. There will be plenty of time for you to enjoy happiness in the future. "
